If your phone was branded when you got it, you should look for an RUU from your carriers homepage, else try look at HTC.com under support -> Hero -> Downloads
Try looking in the SGSII forum, there should be some good stuff there

HTC's ROM Downloads are here ...
http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all
or, if you want more, try here ...
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Hero

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714519 this have worked for me You can update it to 2.1 afterwards

if you install the original ROM will you lose the root access?

thats ok, my son will be having this phone, so it does not matter... I just can not work out how to install an original ROM... DO I just flash it the same as a custom ROM ?
Sorry to be a pain, but I need a bit of an idiots guide,, coz yes, I am an idiot !!
Can anyone help pls ?

Follow the guide i linked two post above!

to get back to the original ROM download one of the RUU.exe files from one of the sites (see post #3). Once downloaded run the .exe file (if you are on linux you obviously wont be able to run .exe but i have seen somewhere a thread which describes how to run RUU file on linux you would have to find that). Follow the on screen instructions and you will have the original ROM back
p.s. if you have an unbranded hero you want the file 'RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R_Radio_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.11_release_signed.exe' from http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Hero. otherwise choose the file according to your carrier
I believe this method will be more straightforward than the guide

Thanks so much,, wish me luck !!!!

ok, so I downloaded it,, I connected the phone to the PC via USB and ran the programe.
The message comes up after a while saying the Update Utility cannot connect to the phone... Asks me to check it is connected...
Any ideas anyone ????

WM5 Rogers ROM

Does anyone have, or know where I might be able to find a Rogers WM5 ROM for the TyTN? Is this even possible to find or am I SOL?
I'm looking for one also
Same here.. I would like to have one onhand just in case something goes wrong with my phone and I need to send in for repairs.
I have the WM6 Rom from HTC's official site installed right now (working perfectly by the way), and not too sure if Rogers would support a return if something went wrong.
Thanks
i just got my new rogers tytn today. I was planning on making a backup and updating ROM. if this is WM5 i will post backup file once I figure out how to do this.
That would be awesome as I am sure lots of here would appreciate a backup incase of warranty triggered
Alright... so I am going to get to this tomorrow morning - but I have no clue how to backup the existing ROM. I see a lot on how to install a NEW ROM, but nothing that I can find about the backup.
Can somebody guide me in the right direction so that I don't screw this up! LOL
Thanks

Bump......
If I am not mistaken somebody has already done this.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_DumpedRoms
I will just have to find out how I check which one i have.
Is there somebody that can do this to the Rogers ROM?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoReconstruct
I believe that will do what you need in order to flash the original ROM back onto your device.
My brain is getting sore from all of the reading about all of this. Sometimes I think life would be easier if I wasn't a "geek".
I'm probably a newb to this, but I've managed to create my own rogers ROM and have it successfully work. The only thing missing my own precompiled ROM was the Rogers splash screen and the Radio which is suppose to be 1.42...
If there is somewhere I can upload the packaged Rogers ROM please let me know and I'll quickly upload it for everyone.
the files in the Rogers rom are all RAW files. how do you load it to your device?

ziadsa, thank you very much. I am looking at moving to a new phone, even though the TyTN has served me well, so I want to pass it on in original condition. Of course, I will be pointing the new owner to xda-developers. The next owner may want more from the phone, like I got.

I now have the original ROMs back in place and it works beautifully, but the splash screen still shows PDAviet.
Does anyone know how to correct this and get the Rogers screen back in place? I know this forum has been quiet for a long time, so if I don't get a response here, I will try with a new thread.
Thanks in advance.

When you bought the device,did you have a CD called ROM update utility or something like that? I have it with my Dopod.
hmm no i dont think so, but i can search my hundred cds
I found a cd with varios programms but no rom update utility so far.
Perhaps you could also advice me how to backup the original rom and install it if possible.
I know somebody else with a ameo. perhaps he can help.
Sorry, I don't have that experience. I would gladly help you if I know how. I'm sure there are many developers especially the ROM cook who know this like the back of their fingers. Come on, give this your guy a hand.
Check Mahmoods page here - http://mahmood1.com/ameo_athena_htcx750_WM6_ROMs.aspx
He has a list of available Roms near the bottom of the page.
Thank you for the link, i downloaded the tmobile rom but it didnt work i think because its not german.
Wrong vender id error. I need the original german rom to restore my machine and i think then i can update it.
Any german guys reading this? Somethere it must be avaible. or can somebody tell me how to extract rom from machine, becaue a friend of mine has the ameo too.

it seems my rom upgrade haven't solved one of my major problems.The GPRS connection is not working.I'm connecting to the network (Vodafone) but if i want to browse the internet internet explorer says :"The page cannot be found.Check the name and try again".
Most of roms
Most of roms has this kind of prob, cause the ccokers said that is better to conect via WIFI or USB stills a problem... but you can try and try again
One more thing maybe your carrier Configuration have missing something... acharacter... a number a dot..... i dont know men!
what do you mean about "try and try again "...different rom or what ?
Of course!
Of course men! try a new one when you think it doesnt reach what you want.

Problems with phone

I haven't used my Touch HD in a very long time and when I turn it on now (dont remember what happened) it says upgrade ROM code error please try again. Does HTC have an upgrade for it? I live in the US and their site doesn't show anything about the phone, used europe site but gave me a no updates for that serial number. I am guessing that a stock ROM from HTC would fix this problem as the phone is not unlocked.
Shipped roms can be found here. Hope this helps.
If you receive "Upgrade ROM code error" then you will need to flash original stock rom which was on your device, i.e. not any stock rom but the original one. Your original stock rom should flash whether it says 'usb' or 'serial' at bottom of bootloader.
Link to stock roms has been provided in post above
Thanks
Thanks a lot, I haven't used that phone for probably a year so I hope that fixes it. I cannot wait to use that phone again, since I paid good money for it.

Did you follow this guide and put either USPL or HSPL on your device first?
Before flashing anything, its always best to read the stickies (thread stuck at top of each forum which provide guides, references etc). My advice would be to read this

Orange Hero Help!!!

Hi, I'm going out of my mind trying to get to 2.1 but I need to update to the .66 from February.
I'm using Windows 7 32bit and once or twice I have managed to get the phone to start to update but it comes back with error 170. I've tried everything I can think of. Downloaded the drivers and updated but in Device Manager I have either 'HTC Dream ADB Composite Interface' or in disk drives 'HTC Android Phone USB'.
Is there any way I can boot the update from my SD card?
Any help will be fantastic.
I'm having this exact same problem, tried updating the drivers but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Greetings folks,
Try the following :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7404108&postcount=94
Make sure you have the right settings under " USB debugging "
Settings - Applications - Development
Or why not root and use another rom like SenseHero B5.1
This is the one i like the most by far,
Means you have to downgrade your ROM version to 2.73.61.5Â
More information :

Nice and easy to follow and ever time i go back to a RRU file from orange only ever lasts about 2 days at the most,

Thanks for the reply Steven.
Can I just clarify that if I follow the www.theunlockr.com method by rooting the phone I can then load the official .66 firmware? If this is the way to do it, where can I get that firmware from?
To be honest, I'm not wanting to put on any other custom firmwares and I want to update to the HTC official 2.1 firmware only.
Thanks again for any help.

No no rooting was only to use custom roms,
How ever if it comes to it flash to another rom and then back to .66
First you need to get orange RRU ROM version 2.73.61.5 from
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=675
Flash this and on first boot you should get a message to advise of a update,
No need to finish setting the phone up but go a head with the download,
Once downloaded it will flash a new radio and reboot,
Then you should have .66
I was still trying to get 2.1 from orange last night,
Ever time i asked it to check for updates it said it was up to date all ready yet still on 15
Back to using a custom rom again today,
Hope your able to get sorted soon folks.
Sorted. Updated it with my mates laptop running Vista. Updating to 2.1 now. THANK GOD!!!
